Hong Kong-based Arrow Electronics is a provider of electronic components targeting the industrial and commercial sectors. The company has over 70 sales offices across the Asia-Pacific region, and thus could offer a significant boost to FPC’s already considerable Asia presence.

In a statement announcing the partnership, FPC SVP Ted Hansson acknowledged that Asia is the company’s biggest market, and suggested that the Arrow partnership could help FPC to expand beyond the mobile sector in which it has established prominence and into new growth areas, saying, “we are excited to tap into the extensive relations and customer base that Arrow serves within mobile, IOT, security and automotive industries.”

This is the third new partnership announced by FPC this month, with the company having previously teamed up with China-based module makers A-Kerr and Fingerchip.
